Spinning Pivots - Squid Industries Balisong Maintenance Tips

[@yaboi8]

I figured this out on my own a while ago but nice that you addressed it!

[@lennoog5796]

Thank you for the info

[@froggygamezz4923]

I ordered a classic squiddy with the maintenance kit can’t wait!

[@osiris5370]

I found out you can tighten your screws with your fingers

[@froggygamezz4923]

Osiris yea I know that

[@djeaza5555]

How is it? :^)

[@graeme8690]

What a soothing voice

[@blayze4212]

I order the squiddy B yesterday, I hope it’s a good balisong

[@gifbieflips3797]

it is very good, much better than the OG squiddy, but be careful if you put Lock Tight in it, because when I put it in the squiddy b, it locked up and I couldn't flip it.

[@missaw]

@@gifbieflips3797 did you wait 12 h before using it after applying the locktight?

this video really helps me, thanks alot 🙌

Glad we could help!

[@walker5992]

So all squiddy hardware will now come with that t10 pivot barrel?

[@kolomick]

Yes...I ordered 4 pairs about a week ago of the blue titanium pivots and they all have the T10 in the pivot barrel..I was a little disappointed because I liked the clean look of the old ones but I guess I’m just looking too far into it🤷‍♂️

[@SquidIndustriesco]

That's correct. All Squiddy, Squiddy-C, and Squiddy-B come with the T10 Torx barrel.

[@SquidIndustriesco]

@@kolomick We agree that the look is definitely cleaner but the advantages of the torx much it much easier to do maintenance. Maybe in the future we'll stock both versions 👍

[@kolomick]

I used my new blue titanium T10 barrels today and I got a tell you it was a lot easier to line up my washers with the t10 in the barrel keep up the good work you guys are awesome!!..They still look pretty good to lol🤪

Hi what Keychain Torx Driver goes with the squiddy classic?

[@shinytask]

Ok im sorry if this is stupid but what do I do after I take them out.... just put them back in?

[@KilliansVlog]

I’ve had this question for a while now, is there any certain cleaning liquid or certain way you should use while cleaning a plastic balisong? I have a squiddy and it needs some cleaning, but I don’t wanna risk messing it up using methods used on metal balisongs. Please help!

[@SquidIndustriesco]

We use citrus solvent but isopropyl alcohol also works great for cleaning the Squiddy. -Lucas

[@KilliansVlog]

@@SquidIndustriesco Ok! Thanks Lucas!

[@tinyotter3339]

So how do you do this when theres no threading on the other side? It’s dull (no place for a screw)?

[@brandonclone3829]

Idk, same here

[@tinyotter3339]

Figured it out lol, squeeze the handles together

[@brandonclone3829]

@@tinyotter3339 Just did it. My Vulp is back to being with no tap and having a beautiful sound

[@ncampbell84]

So how do you make it not spin? Got a Squid b two days ago from you guys and if I tighten it up enough to not spin then the blade and handle don’t swing freely.

[@ghostmelon64]

Do spinning pivots matter when you aren’t trying to clean or tune it?

[@SquidIndustriesco]

Nope, it shouldn't affect anything

[@ghostmelon64]

@@SquidIndustriesco thank you sooo much 🙏 ❤️

[@jagjeetraien3448]

i have an older style of the squiddy , with the single sided screws , i cant get them to unscrew :( i think they r loctited pretty good , ive tried the squeezing and rubber band method , even tried heatinf the pivot with blowdryer but still no luck. can anyone suggest what i can do?

[@SquidIndustriesco]

The best solution would be to drill the heads of the screws off and replace the hardware. We can assist you with that if you'd like to send it in for us to take a look at. Send us a message through our website support page. -Lucas

[@dizzy9314]

Y'all i need some help. So basically my balisong pivots have no screwdriver holes in em so i can't take em out and lube them nor can i loosen them up or tighten them up. I can basically do nothing to them and i'm new to balisongs so i don't know how i'm supposed to maintain this knife.

[@LuckyBambooWasStolen]

What a scam..... You could just squeeze the handles together in open position on their plastic trainers....... They just want you to buy more of their products......

[@SquidIndustriesco]

The T10 torx pivot comes standard on our Squiddy line. As for the balisong maintenance kit, you don't need to buy one from us, but you do need some of the items in that kit to perform maintenance for your balisongs. While you're right that squeezing the handles in open position does work, it doesn't work every time. We re-recorded this video because this method works 100% of the time.
